BENGALURU: Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) on Sunday announced a re-assessment in a fourth semester civil engineering matter after its question paper was in part leaked on Wednesday (June 20), two days earlier than the examination.
A senior professor concerned about putting in place the question paper for the topic, Structures, has been accused of leaking a question on WhatsApp.
VTU registrar Prof H N Jagannath Reddy told TOI that the re-assessment dates will be announced quickly.
"The Structures examination in BE (Civil) was held on June 22 afternoon but the same evening it came to our notice that the picture of a part of the question paper scribbled on a white sheet had been circulated on WhatsApp before the examination.
